Your sustainable transformation partner, Working together for a green future
We will be at your side for every step of your green transformation, no matter which phase you are in.
Identifying the ESG impact on your business model
As an expert solution provider, we look forward to discussing your plans with you. Together, we will first analyse your company’s current sustainability performance and determine what steps you need to take next.
Mapping out a transformation path
We will help you map out a transformation path for your company – incorporating legal and/or regulatory requirements and examining your company’s ecological footprint.
Developing a sustainability action plan
Next, we (or one of our cooperation partners) will identify steps you can take to significantly improve your ecological footprint.
Financing sustainable projects
Once your transformation path has been clearly laid out and you know what steps you need to take, you can also benefit from our core business: customised sustainable financial products that are perfectly aligned with your company’s needs, size and transformation level. The range of products consists of loans, bonds and project financing (renewable energy and green infrastructure).
Setting your sights on the goals ahead
Sustainable transformation is an ongoing process and we would naturally be happy to assist your business in taking the next steps. As your partner of choice for sustainable transformation, we can help you navigate areas such as regulatory aspects or risk mitigation.
We are our clients’ partners in their transformation to a more sustainable business. We give them access to a wide range of products and services that we provide ourselves or through suitable cooperation partners. Commerzbank is committed to a sustainable tomorrow. Together with our clients, it is time to make a difference!
